Nisa (retailer)
Nisa Retail Limited (/ˈnaɪ.sʌ/, NEYE-suh [6]; formerly Nisa-Today's) is a brand and buying group (or "symbol group") of independent retailers (primarily small grocery shops) and wholesalers in the United Kingdom. It is a mutual organisation owned by its members and operating "...like a co-operative, using the collective buying power of the large group of members to negotiate deals with suppliers". [7]
Its headquarters and ambient distribution depot are located in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire. It also has distribution depots for temperature controlled products at Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire and Harlow, Essex.
As of 2018, Nisa Retail Limited represents over 1,300 registered shareholders operating over 3,500 convenience stores and small supermarkets [4], including CK Foodstores in Wales. [8] According to Company Accounts submitted for year ending on 31 March 2017, Nisa Retail Limited has an estimated net worth of approximately £30million [9]. In 2011, Nisa Retail Limited opened its new distribution centre for Scotland in Livingston.
History
The present organisation can trace its history back to 1977 when Peter Garvin, a Yorkshire-based retailer, met Dudley Ramsden, a wholesaler whose family owned a supermarket in Grimsby. The company was called the Northern Independent Supermarkets Association and comprised thirty retailers, with a turnover of £20 million.
Garvin had established NISA some years earlier as a means of fighting the larger supermarket chains of the time but had struggled with the format and future growth. A chance meeting with Ramsden at an industry gathering at a hotel in Bawtry allowed Ramsden to see the potential of the idea [10]
Acquisition
Nisa has been purchased by the Co-operative Group after a takeover deal was agreed in November 2017. [11]
